Bilko was first developed for UNESCO in 1987 to provide free image processing capability for education use. The software has since been updated regularly, to keep pace with developments in remote sensing technology. It now supports data from Envisat AATSR, ASAR, MERIS, RA-2 as well as ERS, SMOS, CryoSat and Jason-2. Functionalities include: Interactive and batch mode processing …
LearnEO! is an Earth observation education project funded by the European Space Agency. Its aim is to increase the understanding of satellite data from ESA missions and show how these can be used to tackle environmental problems in the real world. It provides hands-on training resources for use primarily (but not exclusively) by teachers and …

Following on from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002, the “World of Water” atlas aims at raising people’s awareness of the importance of water and its management. Using up-to-date satellite data, the atlas highlights a number of the most crucial aspects of the resource, whether exemplifying global dimensions or revealing regional or local effects. The atlas …
ESA and Geospace launched an educational resource in the form of the ESA School Atlas. As a complement to the more conventional atlas, this represents an evolutionary leap in teaching resources, using satellite data to show the Earth as it really is. The Atlas is built on satellite imagery and is packed with the most current …
